About Comms People and Glotel

In November of 1989, in London’s West End district, the doors to a modest office were opened and a small but dedicated team of IT recruiters went to work. Their job was to meet a growing demand for technology professionals within the UK’s capital. Today, on five continents, more than 250 on-staff employees and an expanding network of project consultants serve the clients of Comms People.

It was in the mid-1980’s that Les Clark and Andy Baker first collaborated as executive members of a London-based staffing firm. Foreseeing explosive growth in the business of technology, and a parallel need for ever-more specialized consultants, the two formally partnered and founded Comms People.

Building on a corporate philosophy which emphasizes integrity and equal allegiance to consultant and client, growth was to prove steady and rapid.

The company achieved market-leader status in the UK within a few years of founding.  In late-1992, the firm crossed borders for the first time to open Comms People Europe, stationing headquarters in the Netherlands.  The years 1993 through 1997 saw further UK expansion with offices opening in Manchester,  Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bristol and Newcastle.  Also in the mid-Nineties, to serve Australia and ancillary Pacific Rim markets, Comms People Australasia launched with offices first in Sydney, then Melbourne.

In 1993, the allure of a dynamic, technology-rich United States prompted a North American push with the founding of Comms People, Inc. In rapid succession offices opened and thrived; first in Atlanta, then Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles, Reston, VA, Silicon Valley, Philadelphia, New York and Phoenix.

Today, Chief Executive Andy Baker and Chairman Les Clark head-up Glotel Plc, the corporate umbrella under which the Comms People and its related subsidiaries are held. On May 19, 1999, the parent company underwent a highly-successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange.

The company today operates in more than 40 countries.   Of those 20 original employees in the West End offices, 17 have remained a part of, and grown with, Comms People and the Glotel family of companies.
